First the individual idea becomes the community, then the state or nation, and finally a world idea,—all growing out of the necessity of time and place. Not since that great genius—Julius Caesar—vaccinated the world with his enthusiasm, has there been so much talk of progiession. ard never has the microbe of good roads had its v. oild play as it has now, since Henry Ford, the modern Julius Caesar, put it into the hands of the “common people. That “Honest Abe said “God loved the instrument that demanded roads like Caesar Augustus—a nephew of Julius—builded.” While Caesar builded for military purposes. we aie to build for peace. And w'hile he planted a statue to the god Terminus, at the end of his roads, we want to erect a monument at each county line to the Unknown God. for we know no limit, having tapped the Divine Reservoir. The City Drug Store has the Building microbe. We are setting up no god Terminus. We hear a voice. “Get thee hence! This is not thy rest.” We are constantly Improving and fighting the Goths and Vandals of inaction. We are trying to put the spirit of the Balkans in the fight. EVERY HONEST EFFORT TO WIN.

Down, down, down, we sank thru the pure crystal waters. Fish came twisting by, greeting us with “go on.” At length we reached the door, and each was given a small golden key .and a roll of paper tied with gold and black ribbons. Our instructions were to search for ourselves, that key could unravel mystery; and not to open that scroll until we were ready to pass thru the fourth door. (Primary) At first trial we unlocked a small door, and entered into a smaller room. Words cannot describe the magnificent treasures stored in that room. (Int-med.) A locked door led from this. Again that key revealed greater treasures to us. Old impressions of the first room were deepened, and new ones were started. How wonderful! The enticements of the first rooms would not compare with these. It is hard to leave this— but we must see what is in store for us. We must move on or the roll of paper will vanish. Our desires could never have been satisfied until we shall peer into that next room. (H. S.) The treasures of the third room were greatest. We plundered thru the works of saints and ages past. On unlocking the fourth door we were all in the same room again. Was it a dream? No. WE were there and seated near each other. We now had time to read the inscriptions on the scrolls. We had waited long for it. Surely it was nothing less than a pleasure. Lo, the dignified one unrolled his first. He was pale and red by turns. He quivered. He signed. Then he rejoiced, and turned it towards us, we read: 30 THE CRESCENT Vol. II Thirteen Minus Three (CONTINUED) GATESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL This certifies that................................has completed the prescribed course of study for the High School and is entitled to this DIPLOMA with all its honors and privileges.

But some sv.eet day—it won’t be long— They’ll find they’d sell out for a song. For instance there’s our Fannie dear. She's funny, maybe, but how queer! Her wit reminds you of Mark Twain, ’Cept you don’t care for it again. And there’s our “black-eyed-Susan” girl, Whose Christian name we know as Merle, She’s cute, they say. but temper—my! The fire that comes from that black eye. Alice,—where art thou,—Irene. Is it true that you are just seventeen? You're wondrous wise, we will confess. But who made your commencement dress? Mother Goose’s girl—contrary. Didn’t mean our dear sweet Mary; In scanning poetry, she knows how. But wonder can she milk a cow. Now Crystal is indeed a gem, But say can you baste, tuck, or hem? Would I be right to even surmise You knew the art of baking pies? That’s all our girls.—just five I name. The boys, they number just the same; And just as smart, I guess, are they. But bright, of course, in another way. Old Eric,—son of Leif, the red. Can run a mile in ten, ’tis said. But did he chase some English, too. He’d stand some show of getting through. 32 THE CRESCENT Vol. II The Seniors (CONTINUED) Fred, the curly headed lad, Loves Science some, but the girls as bad; We hope his studies bear him fruit. But loving girls is his long suit. Old Bill, he’s sturdy as an ox. But his head is like an empty box; He’ll make his mark,—he’s proper stuff— If this old world lasts long enough. Towering like some stately oak, Stands Don. whose scholarship’s a joke; He translates Latin, so they say. Just like a ehigger eating hay. Well, Ben, we saved you for the last, And genius we all know thou hast; But though you’re handsome and you’re nice. You don’t cut so awfully much ice. And now we're through, you Seniors dear, Maybe we’ll Seniors be next year; But be that as it may. we hope We'll not be puffed with “Senior dope.” 1913 THE CIIESCENT 33 Derivation and Application of High School Terms A. 1—Altitude, uncommon noun, derivation unknown; peculiar to John Walker. 2—Agriculture grounds, a iefugp during vacant periods.

Umbrellas cleave the air; Ben must protect his hair From that squirt gun. Hers not to grasp and die, Hers not to turn and fly, Hers but to find out why Into the study-hall Shot the squirt gun. Not in the least afraid. Straight to the lab. she sped; Low bent each senior’s head, Gone the squirt gun. Oh! but their names she took Into that dread red book; Now have they all forsook Little squirt gun. But when can the glory fade Of the rash squirt it made, Dangerous fun? Honor be unto Rufe, Kittie no less in truth.

We have had a purpose in view all along, thus a failure to us has always been impossible, tho’ we may have received some hard, and at the time, undesirable knocks. At present we illustrate the law of the “survival of the fittest.” For out of a large Freshie Class, the survivors only number thirteen. Our purpose of being the best graduating class of G. H. S. stands before us clearer than ever before. We have worked hard this year and become more settled in our purpose, setting a better example for this year's “Freshies.” But this is only a beginning of what we intend doing next year. We do not like to be too frank, but we feel that we are in advance of the preceding Seniors, for we of 1914 will be the first of Seniors with the ability of making their own graduation dresses. 1913 THE CRESCENT 39 J 1913 THE CUESCEN T 41 Sophomore Class Roll AYRES, INEZ JACKSON, CAREY BAILEY.

Picture of Ourselves We Sophomores are very wise. We’re as smart as we can be; That we are above the Freshman green You very soon shall see. We study books with horrid names And horrider things inside, But we never miss our lessons, For ’twould hurt our Sophomore pride. Class meetings we have so orderly, And we never say a word 'Till “Mr. President,” we say, And he gives the right to be heard. We are superexeellent pupils, The best that are in the school, And we neve think of talking for Of course, it’s against the rule. Oh, we are model students. As any teacher will say; And if wo keep on being so good. We'll be seniors right away. “Again!” ■wj HEN school started last September, if one had noticed us, he M3 would have seen all of us with our heads high in the air, and appearing to know everything. Had he asked one of us what was the reason that we looked so important, we would have drawn ourselves up to our full height and proudly said, “Why, we are Sophomores!” Last year we were Freshmen, green and ignorant. All the year we worked and studied, and gained the dignified title of Soph. When we organized our class this year, we were sorry to hear that some of those who joined us last Christmas had to be Freshmen again. We are all studying hard, and dreaming of the Senior class of 1915. B FRESHMAN CI ASS 1913 T H E C R E S C E N T 45 B Freshmen Class Roll DAILEY. CLYDE BONE. NETTIE BOYD. INEZ COX. MOLLIE EDDINS.

But so it happened that in this little society, that was left behind there were a few boys and girls, who could not stand the idea of failure. They began to work. They talked, they worked, they boosted. Results soon came. Every debt was paid, pens and penants were ordered, the members began to take an interest in the work, and things moved. They received from the teachers a beautiful banner, as a reward for obtaining the most new books for our library. The Friday afternoon programs became very interesting, boys and girls grew' heated on debates and the business side took on new interest. Regulations were passed, committees put to work, and now the Society stands in the lead in popularity, numbers, and work. Coronian now means Success. Before and After Faking An aw'kward boy goes to recite; His hair stands up. his face turns white; His hands begin to quiver and shake; His knees begin to vibrate; His mouth is dry, his tongue won’t move; He’s worse than any man in love. He quits without having said his say, And dreads the next Society day. A graceful fellow at his ease Gives you a smile that’s sure to please. He calmly stands and says his say, In a most satisfactory way. He talks with ease, he acts with grace. There is no fear shown in his face; Ho tells you what he has to say, Politely bows and walks away. A CORONIAN. KAYSER LITERARY SOCIETY 1913 r H E C R E S C E N T 57 GREATER number of pupils participated in athletics this year than ever before. This increase in numbers is due to a growing interest in all healthy sports among the pupils, and from the encouragement from the faculty as to the necessity of bodily exercise, which is conducive to both the health of body and mind. Interest in all the games has been about equally divided; Basket Ball and Volley Ball, as well as Foot Ball, Base Ball, Track Athletics, and the Vaulting Foie each having their enthusiastic admirers. There has been no organized track team this year, but good work has been accomplished. With the help of the High School boys last fall, Mr. Dabney constructed a track around the campus, and races were run during the noon hour and at recesses. A. large number of young men have developed into swift and long sprinters, which is excellent preparation for a good track team next season. Encouraging results have come from the efforts of the Pole Vaulters, Hurdlers, and High Jumpers; and now as the school year draws to an end, all concerned may look back upon the work with pride and satisfaction, and with the hopeful feeling that next year’s record will be the greatest of Gatesville High, because of the excellent preparation that has been made. A •e 58 THE CRESCENT Vol. II ERIC WIGGINS.—One of the best half-backs Gatesville has ever produced. He Is an experienced man and knows the game, but best of all he can play It. He is very fleet, and Is a terrific plunger, making not a few sensational runs thru crowded fields. When a gain was to be made Eric was called on and he seldom failed. At tackling he was a terror to all who opposed him. He is full of football player. He was captain of the team and well liked by all. This is his last year and it will be difficult to get a man to take his place. Weight. 155 lbs. HARRY VOSS.—A fullback who has won a reputation as a line breaker. He ran low and heavy, and seldom ever failed to make at least six yards. Harry is swift and nervy. At tackling he did excellent work, never failing to down his man. At running defensive, he scarcely ever failed to open up a path. His spirited playing brought him some injuries, but he stayed in the game until the last. He will be on the team next year and will be one of the most valuable of men. Weight, 175 lbs. DAN McCLELLAN—In his position as left tackle, he has certainly made good by bis clear-leaded and energetic playing. He was swift and always managed to get in the right place at the light time. He blocked many line bucks, and when on the defensive always kept back his man, clearing the road for the backs. All had faith in Dan, and he never failed them. He is strong and agile, and will be a very much appreciated man for next season. Weight, 142 lbs. CECIL JONES.—Although this was his first year on the team, he has made good. In his position as tackle he played like an experienced man. grit and “pep” characterizing him. He is an enthusiastic player and will gain a position on the team next season. “Jack” was a hard tackle and enjoyed it. He could easily rush his man, and tackle behind the line. A line buck was nothing for him to block. Weight, 150 lbs. 1913 THE CRESCENT 59 JOHN FRANK POST.—He played right end In a very fine style. Swift, dashing and daring, he seemed to slip by the opposing players as easily as an eel. “Yank” was a live wire, and always wanted a forward pass or a run with the ball. He was optimistic and fought to the last. He kept a fight. On the defensive he was an excellent man, and had an uncanny power of foretelling plays. He will be hack next year and has a promising cool head and was always in the thickest of the future. Weight, 128 lbs. WALLACE P. HILL.—This man has won the admiration of all who know him by his manly bearing and gentle manners. He was unusually swift and fieiy in execution, always daiting past the opposing line and presenting himself in the nick of time with that active and deadly effect peculiarly his own. His mettle was proven in the first game of the season where he received several painful injuries. yet no one suspected it until the game was over. Wallace has proven himself successful with the pig skin this season, and as he will be with us next year he will no doubt be one of the most important men on the team. Weight, 145 lbs. JOHN EDGAR CULP.—Edgar corroborates the statement often made, that a silent man with the light kind of nerve is a dangerous one. He met the opposing line with a determined and effective blow. His silent success in all the games played won for him the applause of the spectators, and a permanent place on the team. The High School has a right to be proud of Edgar, since he bids fair to be the bulwark of the team's strength next year, as he has been this. Left guard. Weight ICO lbs. WESLEY HOOT.—This man has proven himself to be one of the best full-backs Gatesville High School has ever turned out. He never failed to win applause in every game in which he has taken part, during the last three years, by his masterful playing. He was a combination of strength, agility, nerve, and judgment. He tackled so much behind the enemies’ line that they declared he knew their signals. “Bill” was looked upon as one of the main stays of the team, and he most certainly deserves this high opinion. He will graduate this year, and the boys are pained to see him go. Weight, 167 lbs. 60 T H E C R E S C E N T Vol. II ROBERT BROWN.—“Bob” has proven himself to be entirely reliable as right tackle this year, and as he has one more year in the High School, his career looks bright indeed. He plays a hard game and a dangerous one to the opposing team. He is one of the best muscled men on the team, and has plenty of grit and enthusiasm to carry into execution his fitting qualities. Although Bob was always in the thickest of the fight, he passed thru all the games without any serious injuries. It is needless to say that Bob will be the pride of the team next year. Weight, 145 lbs. FRED PREWITT.—As a quarter-back he has certainly “earned his spurs,” and came out of every game with colors flying high. He was a real and natural player, and mixed the plays so thoroughly, and was so quick in executing them, that they were always successful. As a back-field runner there was none better, and he scored in every game. He was a good punter and an excellent tackier. He was very accurate in making passes and a good player on the defense. He used his head at all times. He was the manager of the team, and no one worked harder for its success than he. He will finish this year and Gatesville will lose a first-class quarter-back. Weight, 126 lbs. BUD WOODS.—He was one of the best line men on the team, being a fierce tackier and was never dismayed. Bud played right guard, and would often plunge thru the enemies' line and tackle a man When on the defensive he was immovable. He played in every game and proved to be an excellent man at all times. He will be a great help to the team next year. Weight, 165 lbs. 1913 THE CRESCENT 61 Foot Ball History L HE FOOT BALL season opened up with all the candidates in good trim and in high spirits. Fifteen men answered to the call. Four of this number were green at Foot Ball, but they gained a place on the team after much hard practice. Several days were devoted to spirited practice, when the successful candidates were assigned to their position. The line was composed of sturdy men, with plenty of grit—the back field being composed of swift and determined fellows. All were enthusiastic and energetic, and the practice soon begun in real earnest. The first game of the season was with Killeen High School. It was a fierce one—a real “battle royal. The Killeen boys were in dead earnest and played a hard game from start to finish, but the superior work and endurance of our boys gave us a victory of 20 to G. This contest proved to be a great stimulus to all and especially to the inexperienced men. The excellent playing of the Killeen High School, however, served to prevent our boys from becoming over-confident, and continued enthusiastic practice followed. The return game with Killeen was played on our home ground. It was a much fiercer struggle than the first had been, as both teams had profited from former games and had many new plays to spring; but the determination, headwork and grit of the Gatesville team won them an even greater victory than their former efforts and the final score stood 48 to 0. But the hardest game of the season was yet to be played, which was later secured with the Y. M. C. A. of Waco. They knew the game and played accordingly. Both teams were of the same weight, but the well executed fakes of the old Gatesville High School team carried them through to the tune of 12 to 0. We had a small team, but every one pronounced it “Spunky,” and spunky is the word. Prospects for the 1913 season are good. Most of the old men will remain—Hoot, Prewitt, and Wiggins only will leave. Base Ball A UR first same of Base Ball this year was played with Killeen (Jy High, and resulted in a defeat of our boys of 8 to 3. Stephen-__ ville next defeated the team with the score of 8 to 2, but at this 4 juncture our boys seemed to arouse to the situation, and inflicted © a most ignominious defeat upon Hamilton High School in two ____ successive games. The first was a victory for Gatesvllle of 17 to 1; the second resulted in a score of 15 to 2 in our favor. Both games were hard fought and interesting. Much spirit was shown by the boys of Gatesville High, and they were loudly applauded for their noble efforts and excellent playing. Now came the most interesting game of all—that with Meridian College. Gatesville began the game with fierce and masterful playing, which was continued until the last inning. We steadily walked over Meridian until a seemingly slight error was permitted which resulted in a tie in the eighth inning. As “there is a tide in the affairs of men which when taken at its flood leads on to fortune,’’ so there was an error in the ninth which was made at such a time that lead on to defeat. The score was 9 to 8. The spirits of Gatesville High School team are on the up grade; their worth has been tested, and has proven excellent. The boys face the future with hopes of success, and the quality of the team can mean nothing less. 1913 THE CRESCENT 63 i I RED PREWITT.—Pitcher.

No games with other schools have been played as yet. but excellent preparation has been made in expectation of future contests. The history of Basket Ball in Gatesville High School has been quite staisfactory, due to the efforts of Miss Graham, who has worked earnestly and faithfully, and much praise is due her for the good she has accomplished. The training has brought forth results, and if experience, energy, and interest count for anything, the Basket Ball team will yet be a success.

Boy Scouts N February, 1912, some of our boys, having been attracted by the B excellent work done by the Hoy Scouts of America, decided to organize a patrol in Gatesville High School. Eight boys—one patrol—responded to Ihe call immediately, and soon there were eighteen. This movement was later carried to the grades, and _____ about thirty-five boys were organized into patrols there. The I icsent enrollment of Hoy Scouts numbers about sixty-five. The simple regulations, together with the outdoor life of hikes, camping expeditions, etc., make this the greatest boy organization in the country. No other organization in the world has done so much in so sho.'t a time to inculcate in the boy habits of thrift, economy, outdoor living and cleanliness in his physical ajid moral life, as has the great Hoy Scout movement. The Do a Good Turn Daily motto has made manv a thoughtful scout out of a reckless, unheeding l oy. The twelve points in the Scout law are jewels—diamond settings in the crown of life. W. S.

Pondering o’er a wondrous mystery Found within his Ancient History, Suddenly his studying ceasing And his History book releasing And in sadness and alone, And his History all unknown. With closing eyes and failing heart Would he let this chance depart; Depart forever from his heart? Ah how well he did remember Of his failing in December, And a talk from every member Of the faculty he bore; Should he peace from sleep then borrow. Miss his lesson on the morrow? Should he sadly choose his fate And no longer sit up late? Nay, for then his mind he tore From off dreamland’s beckoning shore; Destined “Freshie” nevermore. “JES’ GIT UP an’ DO” or ‘‘A RECIPE for GLADNESS” When you worry, worry, worry, An’ jes’ fret an’ fume around, When life seems to be all dreary— And you are all out and down. Did you ever stop to think ’Twas all on account o’ you— An’ them feelin’s up an’ leave you. If you’d jes’ git up an’ do. If you’d make somebody happy, Jes’ do a kindly deed. Life would ’pear right snappy, An’ yer heart ’ud cease to bleed. Did you ever stop to think ’Twasn’t what somebody did to you, Hut the good yer did to some one What alius pulls you thru? Tho yer feeling awful lonesome. Some one’s lonesomer than you; An’ the only reliable remedy Is just get up and do. Make the other fellow happy. Lift a burden from his heart. Life’ll 'gin to git right snappy, If you’ll only do your part. So if you want my remedy To git glad thru and thru. The only safe way to go ’bout it Is jes’ git up an’ do. 1913 T HE CRES C E NT 77 The Fate of a Latin Class Hazel went to Latin Class, All happy, bright and free; Hazel quit the Latin class When lessons she had three.

How we worked and how we studied, Oh, what hardships we had to bear. While the others laughed and frolicked, And in the fun we had no share. 3. But now we are Sophomores, Important, smait. and bright; None know' more than we do; Don't you think I’m right? 4. When tney ask a question We never have to hide. Like they do in other classes, Or wiggle, twist or slide. 5. We Sophs are perfect angels. Every one thinks so; All the teachers agree to this. That’s one thing I know. Next Year’s Prospects We hope that the year 1914 will open as brightly and be filled with as many improvements as we now have in anticipation. We hope to have a new building, which shall be better equipped than the present one. The Senior Class will publish a monthly magazine as well as the Annual. A grandstand on our new athletic field is now in course of construction and a track will surround the field, which will give an added impulse to track athletics next fall. The study of agriculture will be put in the school and the Domest! Art department will be more completely equipped. We now rank with the foremost High Schools of Texas and the curriculum will be raised still higher next year, commensurate with its marked growth and development.
